Phantogram do Daytrotter

Upstate New York's own street beat/psych pop duo Phantogram, from Saratoga Springs, recorded a Daytrotter session at the Horseshack studio in Rock Island, Illinois, recently. The session includes one unreleased song. Listen to it here.

Mr. Daytrotter writes (so wistfully):

"Phantogram takes a tact of exploring all of these genuine and bleeding human conditions while pairing them with these rainy and steely, programmed and synthesized sounds to make a significant metamorphosis of what happens when it can't be helped what's being felt."

Phantogram got their start with Upstate New York's independent record label, Sub-Bombin, prior to signing with Barsuk Records. Other artists on Sub Bombin include Rawhead, Firefighter Font and OddyGato, to name a few.
